One Tearfund staff member in the Philippines says, ‘It’s the strongest storm I’ve ever witnessed.’ Her family is safe, as are all our other local staff and partner staff (although many are without power or internet currently), but more than a million people had to be evacuated ahead of Super Typhoon Fung-wong, which made landfall just after 9pm local time last night, 9 November. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has declared a state of national calamity for one year.
Our staff member asks, ‘Please pray for protection, safety and for swift access to resources for people who have been displaced.’
